THE NEW MANAGER'S TOOLKIT:

21 Things You Need to Know to Hit the Ground Running

From a rapidly changing workplace, to increasing legal restrictions, to a shrinking (but more demanding and diverse) workforce, new managers have quite a number of factors to contend with…and that doesn't even take into account all the new skills they need to master and the pressure of their increased responsibilities. But rather than being given time to figure things out before jumping in, chances are they need to learn as they go, discovering how to manage and keeping productivity moving without missing a step.

Filled with practical, proven, easy-to-master techniques, THE NEW MANAGER'S TOOL KIT: 21 Things You Need to Know to Hit the Ground Running, by Don Grimme and Sheryl Grimme (AMACOM 2008), gives novice managers the quick, on-the-job guidance they need right away. The book helps readers find their way through the management maze, covering:

The book provides a fresh, friendly approach for new managers, showing them how to increase productivity, unlock hidden talent, work with different types of people, diagnose problems, encourage teamwork, and eliminate conflict. They'll even find out how to avoid burnout themselves, and go on to nurture the next generation of managers.

THE NEW MANAGER'S TOOL KIT encourages readers to manage their people by understanding them. "All too often," authors Don and Sheryl Grimme write, "organizations view their employees in much the same way as they view their material resources: as a commodity, homogeneous and easily interchangeable. For example, notice the frequent use of such terms of human capital, subordinate, rank and file, and headcount—terms that connote property, servitude, or thingness…[A]s a human resource, an employee deserves (and needs) to be viewed differently than the inanimate resources of the organization."

Ranging from basic skills to those more advanced, this book gives fledgling managers the help they need to succeed with flying colors, right from the start.
